2012 Pro Bowl Rosters: Eli Manning, Jason Pierre-Paul To Represent Giants

Quarterback Eli Manning and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will represent the New York Giants in the Pro Bowl on Jan. 29, 2012 in Hawaii. Full rosters were announced Tuesday night.

"It's a real honor," Manning said. "Obviously, when you make it to the Pro Bowl it's because your team, the offensive line, my receivers are doing a great job protecting me, getting open, making plays. It is an honor. Considering some of the other quarterbacks in the NFC who have had outstanding seasons, I'm really thrilled and truly honored to be named to the Pro Bowl team."

"It means a lot," Pierre-Paul said. "I don't really understand the whole Pro Bowl thing, but it means a lot. It means I'm doing good."

Wide receiver Victor Cruz and guard Chris Snee were named second alternates to the NFC team.

"It's a great time, just to see some of the other athletes, guys you compete against, guys that you respect and watch them play and get to hang out with them, get to talk to them, get to see their personalities outside of football," Manning said. "It's a very laidback and fun time. Obviously, with the new way that the Pro Bowl has gone, you don't really want to be playing in the game. You'd rather be getting ready for the Super Bowl. So hopefully that's the case and we'll see what happens."

I love BTB freaking out over Romo not being picked.

They point to Eli’s average performance in recent games. I tired of this poop. If you want to talk about poor performance being an issue then Romo’s INT’s vs the Jets in week one and lack of understanding of how to use a timeout in Arizona have to be mentioned. Also, hitting wide open WRs when the game is on the line is a must if you want to be called a Pro Bowler.

Did the Cowboy fans miss the game vs us a few weeks ago?

I mean I saw Romo ripping us up, I’m not saying he’s not worthy but man you would think the Cowboy fan could at least say we’ll Eli deserves it as well.

The hatred for Eli Manning around the league is baffeling. ANYTHING he accomplishes people just want to rip it down and try and take it away from him. I mean people think it’s INSANE that he’s considered the 3rd best QB in the NFC this year. Jesus you can’t even say he’s good are you get ripped for it. Effing nuts.

from what I read

If Eli had any decency, he would step down and let Cam take his place.

tim tebow is way better than manning no question about it

Stafford didn’t make it because of the sheer volume of outstanding quarterbacks in the NFC (and a predisposition to insure that Eli Manning makes it in Stafford’s stead)

But looking at the raw numbers, TDs, INTs, yards and rating… I would have to give Stafford the nod over Eli. The TD to INT ratio is vastly better.

Calvin johnson. Nuff said

by Gregjonesformvp on Dec 28, 2011 8:26 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Thats not all he does just so you can stop using that as an excuse

He accounts for only 22% of the offense this year what are his other weapons? A good TE who isn’t great and some ok WRs. So when teams double and triple team Calvin he still spreads the ball around.

One other thing to remember he is the least blitzed QB in the league teams are terrified to blitz knowing he will kill them so no easy bombs to wide open guys like Eli got against the Cowboys. He has to work his way down the field and he does.

As a Cowboys fan, let's really look at the criticisms you have leveled.

The Jets game? Fair enough, but let’s remember that he had played phenomenal and had us at a comfortable lead until our punt was blocked. Also, when you claim that Cowboys fans point to a small sample size, it usually doesn’t behoove you to pick out one or two games to pick on.

The Arizona game? Seriously, that’s a criticism? He orchestrated that whole drive down the field, played a solid game despite his O-line being a sieve and got us into FG range. The TO debacle doesn’t fall on Tony but rather Garrett.

And as far as hitting open receivers with the game on the line, I would think you would know something about that considering Tony ripped apart the Giants defense to get down the field into FG range in less than a minute with no TOs. He also did the same thing against the 49ers, Washington, New England, etc. If you are talking about the one pass to Austin against you guys, once again, that is getting awfully picky.

All in all, I think Eli has had a great year. He tore apart our secondary in the first game and I can’t be too mad that he got picked. Still though,Tony has had a superior statistical year, and most criticism against him misses the point. As a Cowboys fan, it’s hard not to get a little peeved when your QB who ranks 4th in QB rating in the league, doesn’t get picked to the Pro Bowl.

by BigBlueIntervention on Dec 27, 2011 11:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah I'm a bit peeved, but it's not totally unexpected.

The Jets and Lions games brought him so much criticism (some fair, some not) that I didn’t really think he would be a Pro Bowler no matter how well he played. And of course, he decided to test that theory by playing pretty lights out from the Lions game on. Even the first Eagles game, which wasn’t his best, was not terrible considering Jason Babin and Trent Cole might have well been camping in the backfield.

But like I said, it’s not unexpected. Plus, considering how Cowboys fans have a good sense of how worthless the Pro Bowl can be (i.e. all of our past Pro Bowl appearances = 1 playoff win), I don’t think anyone should be too upset about it. After all, it’s not what determines who gets that shiny trophy at the end.

no doubt. To be honest, I couldn't be angry if that final spot went to Stafford, Romo, or Eli

all three are deserving. Cam does not. It’s a respect thing…so I’d be annoyed if Eli didn’t get in, but hey, as fans, all we can do is take it on the chin and move on. There’s always a bunch of snubs from the probowl, but ehhh life goes on. This time, things went my way, so I can sit back and enjoy it I suppose.

I hear you

First, I pointed out a small sample size of because the knock on Eli has been based solely on two recent games. So, when I point out Cowboy fans point to a small sample size I point at an equally small sample size. It behooves me quite well.

The Arizona game? So, TOs can only be called from the sideline in Dallas? I’m sorry but a QB should know exactly what to do in that situation and shouldn’t even need to look to the sideline for instruction. If it is the coaching staff that is handcuffing Romo then they need to let him play ball.

You are correct. Romo ripped the pitiful Giants defense to get into FG range with the game on the line. So, did Rex Grossman, Vince Young, and Charlie Whitehurst. I don’t see any of their names being kicked around as Pro Bowl snubs.

You do have a legit argument. Romo has played well this year and I’m not trying to take that away but Eli deserves his spot.

by nywins42 on Dec 28, 2011 12:28 AM EST up reply actions  

Eli deserves his spot, but the point I am making is that Romo has an equal argument.

And anyways, I haven’t read every BTB thread so I may have missed it but it seems like the most common criticism thrown Eli’s way back there is his seven more INTs than Romo. That seems like a criticism that is based on the entire season, rather than just a game or two.

As for the Arizona game, perhaps your decision structure is different, but I think it is pretty normal for the HC to be in charge of clock management. I suppose Tony could have overruled JG there, but I am not sure that would have been the absolute right thing to do. And honestly, it’s splitting hairs anyways since we should have made the FG regardless.

As for the Giants game, I didn’t pull that out of thin air. You specifically said that he had to hit open WRs when the game is on the line to be a Pro Bowler. I simply listed examples of doing that. And considering the stress he did it under in the Giants game (less than a minute, no timeouts), I think that example suffices as a rebuke to your criticism. If I misread your intent with that sentence than I apologize, but I thought it was pretty clear that you were saying that Tony doesn’t hit wide open receivers with the game on the line.

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

by Creasy729 on Dec 28, 2011 1:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Tony Romo has been the opposing teams MVP

On multiple occasions this season Romo has single handedly thrown the game away (Jets, Detroit). Also you say the int difference isn’t a game or two nitpick, yet thats exactly what it is considering he has 6 ints in 2 bad games. Throw in Eli being the best 4th quarter QB in football completing six come from behind victories and yea Eli deserves it over Romo.

by bleedblue12 on Dec 28, 2011 5:52 AM EST via Android app up reply actions  

Sorry but if you think Tony single-handedly threw those games away

than I am not sure exactly what you are watching. The Jets aren’t even in that game if our ST doesn’t allow a blocked punt for a TD. And the Lions, even with those INTs, were still ten points down going into the fourth before our defense just collapsed. Furthermore, in both games, the common thread was that Tony had been carving their defenses up and was the reason we were ahead prior to his mistakes. Did Tony make bad mistakes down the stretch of that game? Sure, but he did not by any measure single-handedly lose us those games. Not only do the facts not support it, but considering how football is a team game, you can almost never just blame one player for a loss.

As far as Eli in the fourth, I can recognize that. He has played some good ball down the stretch of games. I would simply submit that Tony has as well. Go look at the plays he made down the stretch of both Washington games. Watch how he beat the 49ers (now one of the top defenses in football) down the stretch with freshly broken ribs. Watch the Giants game where he tears down the field in three throws with no timeouts. Watch the Arizona game where he gets us in position only to have our ST mess up yet another opportunity to win. He also had us in position to beat NE with clutch play, and some of the throws he made to beat the Dolphins in the 4th were simply unbelievable. There is a reason that since 2006, Tony has the highest QB rating in the 4th quarter of all QBs.

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

Fair enough

To be honest, I think Romo is every bit as good as Eli on the whole. However, Romo (fairly or unfairly) will always be tagged with the “unable to win the big game” flag until he does. Of course Peyton had that tag for while and is now considered one of the best.

Its so wierd thats why I hate myself for being into the NFL so much too many stupid people cover it and follow it. Did’nt Eli set the record for 4th quarter TD passess this year?

Would I feel the same way about guys ahead of Eli? Maybe but… from watching this Giant season, the team went on Eli’s back more then a few times and he carried them to some pretty good wins. Not enough stats for that.

Thanks, you had me worried a bit BBI.

Always thought we treated Giants fans okay.

My take on the Pro Bowl QB selection; Stafford, Eli, Romo, and even Cam Newton all had an outstanding year. All of them had off games and all of them had games where they carried their teams to victories. Personally you could flip a coin between them to determine who is more deserving. I would give a very slight edge to Eli because he had to shoulder more of the load on offence than the other three. Not much, but if he was off at all, the Giants were done.

"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!

Do the Packer fans hate the Giants for 07?

Seems wierd. I know there is an old school rivalry with them and the Bears dating back to the 20’s but since 1970 it’s been seperate divisions and few playoff meetings between the franchises. I thought there was a lot of mutual respect between the Giants and those teams

I don’t know I kinda like that division. I usally root for those teams in the NFC when the Giants are out. Old school kinda thing.

They were really cool (the vike fans). However from what is sounds like they’ve changed quite a bit

Glad to see Eli get the vote of the players and coaches. I was so annoyed when ESPN put out the 100 best players on 2010 and eli didnt even make the list. What a difference a year makes. I was very confident that JPP would be in, you.know, since he may be the defensive player of the year.

Makes perfect sense

‘an overrated QB who snuck into the pro bowl’… sounds like crying to me. Other fans are treating Eli like the worst QB in the NFC and should be ashamed that he got in the Pro Bowl.

Meanwhile, alot of posters here are saying Romo/Stafford/Eli all have had pretty equal seasons and all deserved a spot… but only one gets it.

But having said that........

Ndamukong Suh does make #1 on the All-Pro list for charitable contributions from a sports figure at $2.6 million. Sure wish his uncontrolled playing style would change. JPP shows that you can be aggressive, successful and fun to watch, and play clean. But my hat is off to him as a person.

Eli Manning #2 in Sports at $1million in scholarships for lower income families to send their kids to Ole Miss.

So there you go Detroit, you guys do deserve some high achievement honors.

But Eli deserves his honors, All-Pro on and off the field.

Let me say this again. You put these other qbs on the giants and the team is worse. Eli makespeople better and he does it outside in New York mostly with the game on the line. This hate really needs to stop.

by weejer on Dec 28, 2011 6:32 AM EST reply actions  

I don't think that it is hate

I think that there is just a time delay between perception and reality for players on other teams that you do not watch every week. A big chunk of the voting occurs while the season is only about half over, so last year’s performance plays a big role. And we see Eli every week, so we know what he has done, but the average Detroit or Dallas fan has not.
Chris Snee? Troy Polamalu?
Eli needs to show his magic to the outside world again, on national coverage, over the next month, for perceptions to line back up with reality.
They aren’t haters I don’t think, just enthusiastic about what their own guys have done. And be fair, most of us have not watched all of Stafford’s games this year.

I have watched alot of the other teams games..that NFL Mix can drive ya batty, but you get to see the other games some..I don’t think Stafford is in the same league with Eli, but he’s a very good QB.

Maybe you should check out Cruz's stats and big plays

Cruz deserved it slightly more than Stafford. If he stays healthy and keeps putting up those numbers his day will come. I think the Pro Bowl is more important to the younger players for the most part. I believe most players could care less about it. Unless of course you are in the last year of your contract and are headed into FA, then there is value plus if you have incentives in your current deal. Then it means something
